International Programs

Our students increasingly come to us with a strong interest and
desire for experience with global health, and they want those
experiences while in medical school.

While we've been able to give students international experiences for
many decades – we started with students going to Costa Rica in 1985 - -
Two and half years ago we appointed Dr. Leigh Grossman, as Associate
Dean for International Programs, to help expand and improve the
organization of our international offerings.

We want our students to have structured and meaningful and
safe clinical and research opportunities in foreign countries.
Students frequently benefit from working alongside our faculty.
